Title: Improvements in hydraulic presses
IPC: H01R43/04
Filed: 1962-07-06
Abstract: 973,588. Jointing. G. CORNER & CO. Ltd., and K. IVELL. July 5, 1963 [July 6, 1962], No. 25954/62. Heading B3Q.  A crimping press for connecting a cable to a terminal or connector comprises a stationary die head b mounted in a frame secured to a base a<SP>1</SP> carrying an hydraulic cylinder A<SP>1</SP> which operates a movable die b<SP>1</SP> in which a plunger B is mounted to stand proud of the face of the stationary die and which is engaged by the face of the movable die when the press is closed to operate a micro-switch 1 to stop the movement of the press, as the die faces close, and to open a valve to allow the die to return. A switch means may be operated to arrest the movement of the die prior to completion of the crimping stroke. The plunger is adjustable against a spring b<SP>4</SP>. Preferably the micro-switch is arranged in a low voltage secondary circuit. In an embodiment an air-hydraulic unit is automatically controlled, closing of the micro-switch de-energizing a solenoid valve to release the oil pressure. Inching switches are provided in the circuit and in the event of electrical failure of the pump or stoppage thereof the pressure in the press is maintained. Insulation stripper and die cutting means may be incorporated in the press which may be mounted on a wheeled cabinet.

Abstract: 462,990. Kinematograph cameras. BELL & HOWELL CO. Oct. 2, 1935, No. 27237. Convention date, Oct. 22, 1934. [Class 97 (i)] In a camera gate provided with edge guides for the film, one edge guide is carried by the camera door, and closure of the door moves both this edge guide and the movable gate member into operative positions ; the movable gate member assumes a partly open position, when the camera door is opened, to facilitate threading. The movable gate member 18 is carried by spindles 21 which turn in end recesses in a centrally-fixed leaf spring 15 and are formed with flats causing, with the aid of abutments 46 on the member 18, the member to rest in the partlyopen position shown in Fig. 6. The spring permits complete removal of the member 18, when in this position, and is formed with projections 23 to facilitate reinsertion of the member 18. A plate 24 is rockably held by a screw 25 on the member 18 and is pressed by a flat spring 28 ; it is formed with two forward projections 30 on one edge, a single projection 31 on the other edge, and with apertures 27, Fig. 3, to receive projections 26 from the member 18. The door 2, Fig. 4, of the camera, hinged at its right-hand edge, is formed with a projection 34, which is recessed to house a plate 37 pressed on to a cover plate 36 by a spring 42. The plate 37 is formed with spaced projections 44, Fig. 5, forming guides for one film edge, and with an arm 47 which, as the door is closed, engages the member 18 and closes it against the fixed gate member 11.

Patent GB-337526-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with gate-operating mechanism for lifts
IPC: B66B13/12
Filed: 1929-09-07
Abstract: 337,526. Smith, Major & Stevens, Ltd., and Stevens, P. H. Sept. 7, 1929. Operating and controlling gates electrically; by movement, of inter-connected gate; by crank and like mechanism. -A lift gate operating mechanism comprises a power operated wheel or crank which is connected to the gates by levers 8, 9 so that for every half-revolution of the wheel 1 the lever 8 moves from one dead centre position to the other and operates the gates. The wheel 1 is driven by an auxiliary motor which is controlled by a switch 24 controlling the movement of the lift. Thus when the cage is stopped the circuit of the motor 4 is closed and the gates are opened, and when the cage is restarted another circuit is closed which reverses the motor 4 and closes the gates. In both operations the supply circuits of the motor 4 are automatically broken before the gate is completely operated by two cams 25, 26 which are carried on the wheel 1 and co-operate with switch arms 27, 28. The switch arm 27 is connected in the circuit which is closed when the cage switch is operated to bring the car to rest and causes the motor 4 to drive the wheel 1 in the direction of the arrow a until the cam 25 knocks against the arm 27 and causes it to open the switch. The switch arms 27, 28 also bring into operation an electric brake 30 which is mounted on the auxiliary motor shaft. When the wheel 1 is operated by the closing of the cage switch, a cam 41 carried on the wheel operates by means of a link mechanism 42, 43 a shaft 46 which opens the switch 4'7 in the lift motor circuit. The movement of the shaft 46 also throws forward by a parallel link motion an inclined plane 48 which engages with a roller-carrying arm 40 to release the lock on the lift-well gate. Means are provided by which the shaft 46 can be operated by hand in case of emergency. The cam 41 is sloped at 61 so that before the gate opening commences the shaft 46 is given a quick initial movement to open the switch 47 and release the well-gate lock and before the gate closing commences the switch 47 is closed and the well gate locked. The opening of the well gate is effected by a pick-up device on the cage gate consisting of a spring-pressed plate 34 hinged at 35 to a runner 11. The free end of the plate 34 forms an abutment which when the runner 11 is moved is adapted to engage with the spring-pressed plunger 36 on a runner 37 attached to the well gate. The plate 34 is formed with inclined surfaces to prevent damage to the device if the lift is set in motion before the gate is closed. The well-gate runner 37 and cage-gate runner 11 are provided with downwardly-depending claws which are supported in guides so that by an upward movement they can be disengaged from the gates in case of emergency. Specification 296,186 is referred to.
